Teacher Facilitation Guide:

A guide has been designed to help the teacher or group facilitator become familiar with the events and activities that are being offered so that they can choose how to support their students’ participation in the online forum. Activities have been designed to allow for flexibility and choice. Classes are encouraged to participate in all events and to do all of the suggested activities, but it is recognized that this may not be possible for all participating schools.

The I Am Stronger Movement

I Am Stronger is a social movement, a call to action to stop bullying and cyber-bullying in our communities. As an organization that believes in the power of change, SaskTel wants to take a stand and help lead that change by connecting those of us who are willing to put ourselves on the front lines for the fight against bullying.
